observations made by lying down and holding my
lens close over the ants failed to reveal any-
thing whatever in their mandibles. A number
of ants passed review under my glass.
Rev. James A. Kelso of Allegheny, Pa., a
guest at the Oak Grove Home for some
time this summer saw this stream first
on July 4 and several times since during the month. So it
has been continuous from July 4 to Aug. 29
at least. I brought home a few specimens
which I gave to Mr. Henshaw this evening. He
told me it was not the common black ant.
He had never heard of such long con-
tinued proceedings, run of ants passing and
either way. I shall await with interest
what he may find out in regard to this.
Every time that Mr. Kelso or I passed the spot
during July & August the stream of ants was
there, and we passed over the locality both
morning and afternoon.
